Again, will mention that he STARTED at UCLA, under his legal (at the time) Muslim name, Sharmon Shah (sp?).

At least he didn't wear Rec Specs...

Did you know that the Isiah Thomas that is still in the NBA was named after Isiah because his dad lost a bet? His pops was a Lakers fan, and had to name his kid after THE Isiah... I was actually being tongue in cheek with my assessment of guys that have the same names as legends. There are a ton of them I'm sure... It always makes me think about that movie Office Space where the one character is named Michael Bolton, and ******' hates it.
